• Multiple words
- If you type more than one word, your results may include
materials with the words in any order. If you want to find the words
in the exact order, begin the phrase with double quotation marks.

• Wildcard characters
- You can type a part of a word and use a wildcard character. The wildcard character asterisk (*) represents the rest of the word. For
example, if you type King*, the results
include words such as King, Kingsley, and Kingford.
The wildcard character question mark (?) represents exactly one character.
For example, wom?n finds woman and women.
If the question mark occurs at the end of a word, it does not act as
a wildcard character, so you can find titles like what
color is your parachute? Also, if you type a backslash character
\ before any wildcard character, the
wildcard character is treated as text.

• Punctuation
- Punctuation is usually ignored. However, you can include the following
characters if they immediately precede or follow a letter or number (no
space between): + # % $
